Transparent Playing Cards - Red by MPC
$40.95 AUDThese transparent playing cards are meticulously designed and manufactured by MPC. The card fronts display standard MPC-branded artwork, while the backs feature an intricate vector pattern that aligns perfectly with the card indices and pips on the front. This design ensures that other players cannot easily see or identify the cards being held. The first challenge was to create this clever design, while the second focused on developing a deck that outperforms other transparent decks, which often suffer from poor handling and stickiness. MPC's specially developed card finishing ensures that this deck handles exceptionally well.
Two versions are available: the Red version and the Black version, distinguished by the color used in the back pattern. The deck includes 55 cards, ranging from Ace to King, with two Jokers and an additional completely transparent card.
Plastic Transparent Design:
These cards are made from premium quality plastic transparent card stock, ensuring long-lasting durability. The slightly blurred surface helps to conceal the artwork on the opposite side while maintaining the deck's transparency.
Waterproof:
Ideal for holidays, playing by the pool, or at the beach, these cards are crafted from waterproof, premium-grade plastic. Perfect for taking to the pub or playing card games with friends, these cards are resistant to water and dirt. A quick wipe with a soft cloth, and they’re ready for play time and again. However, it's recommended not to submerge them in water, especially saltwater, as it could affect the print quality.
Playability and Handling:
A major challenge was achieving excellent handling, a common issue with other transparent decks. This deck, made from premium plastic card stock, offers the perfect balance of flexibility—neither too stiff nor too flimsy. The cards have a satisfying snap and feel comfortable in hand. Precision-cut with a high-density industrial card cutter, these cards can be used just like a traditional paper deck. Whether cutting, faro shuffling, or fanning, these cards perform beautifully without clumping. They glide smoothly with just the right amount of friction—not too slippery and certainly not sticky.
Tuck Box:
Instead of opting for a standard paper tuck box, MPC designed the tuck box from the same transparent plastic as the cards, creating a cohesive and striking presentation. This box is just as durable as the cards, so it can withstand being dropped in the pool, your drink, or even the toilet. A quick wipe, and it’s good to go again.
